Purpose
This component can be used for production planning and control in a repetitive manufacturing environment. You can use repetitive manufacturing as either make-to-stock REM or make-to-order REM such as in the automotive industry, for example.

The goals of repetitive manufacturing are the following:
Creation and revision of production quantities on a period and quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and order-specific processing).
Reduction in the production control effort and simpler back flushing tools(with the option of using the full scope of the PP functionality).

Implementation considerations
You can implement Repetitive Manufacturing if the following is true of your production process:
You produce the same or similar products over a lengthy period of time and space.
You do not manufacture in individually defined lots. Instead, a total quantity is produced over a certain period at a certain rate per part-period.
Your products always follow the same sequence through the machines and work centers in production.
Routings tend to be simple and do not vary much.
